Abstract | Abstract: Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) is triggered by infection with human T-cell lymphotropic virus-1 (HTLV-1). Here, we describe the reprogramming of pyrimidine biosynthesis in both normal T cells and ATL cells through regulation of uridine-cytidine kinase 2 (UCK2), which supports vigorous proliferation. UCK2 catalyzes the monophosphorylation of cytidine/uridine and their analogues during pyrimidine biosynthesis and drug metabolism. We found that UCK2 was overexpressed aberrantly in HTLV-1-infected T cells but not in normal T cells. T-cell activation via T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling induced expression of UCK2 in normal T cells. Somatic alterations and epigenetic modifications in ATL cells activate TCR signaling. Therefore, we believe that expression of UCK2 in HTLV-1-infected cells is induced by dysregulated TCR signaling. Recently, we established azacitidine-resistant (AZA-R) cells showing absent expression of UCK2. AZA-R cells proliferated normally in vitro, whereas UCK2 knockdown inhibited ATL cell growth. Although uridine and cytidine accumulated in AZA-R cells, possibly because of dysfunction of pyrimidine salvage biosynthesis induced by loss of UCK2 expression, the amount of UTP and CTP was almost the same as in parental cells. Furthermore, AZA-R cells were more susceptible to an inhibitor of dihydroorotic acid dehydrogenase, which performs the rate-limiting enzyme of de novo pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthesis, and more resistant to dipyridamole, an inhibitor of pyrimidine salvage biosynthesis, suggesting that AZA-R cells adapt to UCK2 loss by increasing de novo pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthesis. Taken together, the data suggest that fine-tuning pyrimidine biosynthesis supports vigorous cell proliferation of both normal T cells and ATL cells. |
